[Bhumika]

Hello everyone! 😊

Welcome to the Community Center! 👋  I'm @Bhumika , one of the Community Managers for our English Community Center along with my lovely team members @Quincy @Paula @Rebecca  and @Elisa  and we are thrilled to have you join us.

Let's kickstart this thread with a little about us Community Managers:

@Quincy : I'm from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 I have been on the Community Center for 6+ years, and have been an Airbnb Host myself. I love cycling🚲, playing football⚽, and travelling🌏 . I love how dynamic and diverse the Community Center is as we meet Hosts from all around the globe. 

@Bhumika :  🌍 I was born in Gujarat, India 🇮🇳 , and shifted to Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦 last year! 📷 I recently realized my love for photography and aesthetics. I love to capture mundane life and candid pictures. 🌆 When I'm not working, you'll find me binge-watching thriller movies or exploring history.

@Paula : I am from Colombia 🇨🇴 and currently living in British Columbia, Canada 🇨🇦. I have a passion for Latin American culture (I love to dance 💃) . I've had the opportunity to visit around 20 countries 🌎 and plan to visit many more. In my free time, I enjoy outdoor activities, especially mountain biking 🚲 and hiking 🏔.

@Rebecca : I'm from Cardiff in Wales originally but being a military child and a veterans spouse, I've travelled and lived in a lot of different places in the UK and Europe. I'm an environmentalist 🌿 and like to minimise my impact on the planet 🌎 as well as volunteering in my local community.  I love sea swimming 🌊 yoga on the beach 🧘‍ and I'm a children's yoga instructor too! 🙌 

@Elisa : I was born in Italy 🇮🇹 and as a lover of unique experiences—from exploring the streets of Rome🇮🇹 , Paris 🇫🇷, and Toronto 🇨🇦 to appreciating timeless art and cuisine—I'm here to blend the old with the new. 

Now it's your turn! Tell us a bit about yourself. Where are you from? And is there something special about the location of your accommodation that you'd like to share?

Looking forward to getting to know you all!

Warm regards,

Bhumika

Hi everyone from everywhere!

I’m Alina Nastasiya, and I live and rent out part of my apartment in Copenhagen, Denmark. I’m quite new to this whole airbnb world, but I figured, why not try it out? I’ve already accommodated two separate couples just this month, and I’ve been super lucky with my guests and also have had wonderful feedback 🙂

[Loni56]

Olá Aline seja bem vinda ! Muito ouvir sua experiência como novato no airbnb🫶🙏🏻

[Paula]

Hello @Alina-Nastasiya0, wonderful! Congratulations on your great experience with your first two guests 😊

Best regards.

[Sheldon67]

Hello everyone, 

My name is Sheldon and I am in Ardmore PA. I teach High School and enjoy it immensely. This is my first listing and I'm hoping to grow and learn as time goes on. 

The home is special because it was my grandparents home that I renovated and finally decided to let other enjoy. 

There is so much to do in and around the area of Ardmore PA. I want others to have that experience. 

I have what is a family friendly home. Enjoy my space like you would your own. 

Thanks. 

[Paula]

In our community, there's a fantastic board titled 👉Ask About Your Listing, where both new and experienced Hosts come together to share tips on enhancing their listings through 👉Critique My Listing threads. Would you be interested in joining this initiative?
